“We were overwhelmed by the welcome that London audiences showed IMPOSSIBLE last year and are delighted to be returning to the Noël Coward Theatre with a bigger show than ever before. I’m proud to welcome two of the world’s leading female magicians, Josephine Lee and Sabine van Diemen to the company, and am excited about seeing audiences’ reactions to their stunning performances”.

Luner Lowdown: I’m thrilled to see IMPOSSIBLE returning to London’s West End this summer! When this new production first debuted last season, it made headlines not only for its grand illusion and magic acts but for also being something completely different. The show follows in the footsteps of TheIllusionists which premiered not only on Broadway last season but returned this season as well with a record-breaking West End run at the Shaftesbury Theatre. Magic and illusion, in its highest theatrical form, is something I’ve loved to see more not only in the West End but on Broadway as well. It bends the theatre offerings but also brings a totally new audience into the experience of theatre as well. I look forward to hearing about IMPOSSIBLE’s London return this summer!
